Faculty Development at HSU

Welcome to the HSU Faculty Development Office (FDO) web site!


Mission:  The FDO mission is to provide a centralized hub that supports faculty success and promotes teaching and learning excellence.

Vision:  The FDO vision is to create spaces and opportunities where campus educators can engage as unapologetic learners to meet student needs as well as their own.

To promote excellence in teaching and learning at HSU and to support faculty needs, the FDO provides:

  • individual consultation
  • workshops, brown-bags, faculty learning communities, and other campus-wide events
  • new faculty orientation
  • resources (e.g., links, print materials, books for check out, small grant awards)
